She made the lightsaber hilt out of her staff to honour her past as a scavenger and the item that helped her survive all those years she was on her own.
She retrieved Kylo’s lightsaber and healed the cracked kyber crystal. She used that to power her new lightsaber. The blade is yellow because red (it was formerly on the dark side) + green (it was healed and is now on the light side) light combined makes yellow.
The healed crystal symbolises the way in which Rey symbolically killed Kylo Ren and then healed him. He was reborn as Ben Solo just as this crystal has now been reborn as something new.
The lightsaber honours their history and the ability to heal and move on from the past. It is the embodiment of who they are and what together they represent.
The forest around them is silent when the call is given. A sharp whistle of bird song that should be impossible for anyone with human vocal cords and the sudden whine of blaster fire as a dozen figures rise from the shadows and open fire.
None of them acknowledge the flash of red hair, darkened with dirt and muck, that dives past them. Darting through the last few trees before he leaps rolling as he lands metal already crunching beside him as his hand rises and even now after months of fighting Neild can’t compare it to anything. Not the way he moves or the way he fights, everything so very fluid and wrong besides the small figures he fights beside. All still growing into their bodies compared to the quick controlled dance the other always manages.
A body falls with a blaster bolt perfectly centered on it’s forehead and the figure is already off again. Flashing steps, the shadows themselves seeming to rise around him and Neild is reminded of the old stories of their greatest warriors. Unstoppable hunters, fearless warriors. A blaster on his back in favor for the staff he’s taken too, a bloody dance that defends as many of them as he can while decimating those who threaten the young while Neild can only watch.
Metal creaks, shatters and the doors swing open with out a touch. Nothing but the sweeping pull of a hand and the groan of twisted metal as those of them that aren’t keeping watch dart forward to pull the children from the back of the truck Obi-wan has practically torn to pieces.
Obi-wan himself stands apart, a vibroblade clutched in one hand, staff and blaster hanging across his back and the air around him still and silent. If Neild looked closely he knows what he’d see. Eyes like the void of space, maybe even an extra pair and fangs sharper than anything he’s seen in the wild of his home.
Neild doesn’t look. None of them ever do.
The young know when something is just a little off, but they also know that it means nothing when everything they’ve ever known is wrong to begin with. They’ve heard what the elders had to say about the Jedi, and they know what happened to the first. Even if Obi seemed certain she’d live through it.
Whatever he is, whatever he may become Obi-wan is one of the young now.
Every time I see Lana I say very quietly to myself “Let’s go lesbians”
Do you think Plo Koon's mask also has a translator inside it which makes his language understandable in basic?
Because being rather reptilian/insectoid in appearance, I assume that their main method of communication is probably screeching and clicks, rumbles and vibrations.
Also because:
Plo: ... and once Wolffe, Sinker and I give the signal, we will... *mask crackles, unintelligible screeching noises*
*Plo stops talking, adjusts his mask and tries again*
Plo: *more screeching*
Shinies: *horrified whimpering*
Plo: *sad eyes at Wolffe*
Wolffe: *rolls eyes* The General is having translation issues. What he said was 'once we give to signal, you are to advance and rendezvous with us at the marked co-ordinates'. Understood?
Plo: *gentle clicking noises*
Wolffe: And... *sighs* he says he's proud of us.
Everyone else: *stunned silence*
Plo: *soft screech*
Wolffe: *glaring at him* Really, General? Do I have... Ugh, fine. And the General says he... loves us... *blushes furiously*
Plo: *delighted clicking noises*

I love how Kara just loves to taunt Lex with the fact that Lena is on her side. Like she knows how much he hates it.
She did it when she revealed Lena made her K-Proof suit in season 4.
"You can thank your sister for this."
And now again.
"You're predictable. You can thank your sister for proving that."
It gives off the same energy of: "Your daughter calls me Daddy too."
It's like she's basically rubbing it in his face that Lena has been and always will be hers and Lex can die mad about it.
Royal Blood AU:
Where the Jedi don't really know anything about Anakin's step-family so Luke goes to Padme's family while Leia goes to the Organa's.
He is raised as Luke Naberrie, spending his first few years of life under the care of his grandparents ( You know - the people who raised Padme Like That).
Now, the Naboo, particularly the political elite of Naboo, are very good at the shell game of deception. When he is finally revealed, the family claims he is a year younger than the truth, and there is, around him, all the hushed silence of a well-supressed scandal. The nature of it is... nebulous.
Luke grows up in a small cloister of other fair eyed, blonde haired boys - Aunty Eirite's son, and his cousin, and the boy from a family that has long been loyal to House Naberrie.
He is, as a child, like any other boy of his House. Perhaps his instincts are a little better, perhaps he learns a little faster, perhaps he picks up skills more aptly.
Perhaps he is another genius, like his Aunt Padme. His family pours all their love and learning into him, and - and their loss, though perhaps they do not mean to.
He is a Nabberrie, after all, and he follows in the family profession and is elected a Prince of Theed at the age of 13 (14, really).
He chooses a political pseudonym from one of Naboo's more modern heroes.
He takes on the title Prince Skywalker.
At the age of 16, he goes on to be elected the Junior Senator of Naboo, now Senator Skywalker.
He butts heads with Princess Organa his first day in the Senate, and somehow they quickly become inseparable rivals.
Darth Vader has an indescribable grudge against this blonde child - children, since he has several decoys/ assistants. Leia Organa has impeccable timing for interrupting when Luke finds himself cornered for intimidation.
Darth Vader grows to find them both incessantly aggravating.
He can't quite bring himself to crush them. He's not certain why.
Bail Organa and Senator Nabberrie ( Luke's grandfather) have so many gray hairs. They are both, however, incredibly proud of their budding, unstoppable baby rebels.
( Yes Luke has R2D2 and Leia has C3PO, yes the droids regularly thwart Darth Vader too. Luke is an ace pilot just like his childhood hero, Leia is a sharpshooter just like both her mothers).
As someone who lives in the US, they’re not wrong.
Lmfaaooooo Norway just called the US a dusty ass bitch and they ain’t wrong
